The design changes for the NTRA ‘Home of Football’ development were heard and assessed by the Ku-ring-gai Planning Panel on Monday, 21 October 2024. We are delighted to advise that the Planning Panel has approved these changes.
The design changes reflect community feedback on the original designs and will greatly enhance the facility—bringing improvements that everyone can enjoy without altering the building’s footprint.
- Aesthetics – A design that fits more naturally into the beautiful surroundings
- Accessibility – Better access for elderly and disabled visitors, ensuring the space is welcoming to all
- Safety – Extra roof coverage over external stairs, improving safety and protection from the elements
- Comfort – Better viewing options for Field #1, making it more enjoyable for spectators
- Noise Reduction – Enhanced acoustic features to create a more peaceful environment
- Ground Floor Reconfiguration – A smarter layout to make the space more functional and visitor-friendly
This project is more than just a development, it’s about creating a hub of which our local sports and community groups can be proud. The much-needed undercover seating and improved amenities will be a game changer for the NTRA site, particularly the inclusion of female-friendly facilities.
Thank you to everyone – NSFA members, Northern Tigers members and our community partners – who have supported this fit-for-purpose project. We’re excited about what’s ahead and can’t wait to share this fabulous new facility with our community.
